Since the first edition in 2006, the “Kobito Zukan” picture book series has been incredibly popular. The mysterious creatures that appear in the picture books by Toshitaka Nabata—which are neither insects nor plants—are called “Kobitos.” Their visuals have such a strong impact that once you see them, you can’t forget them, and yet each Kobito has its own personality, giving off a sense that you might become addicted to them. Today, we’ll introduce you to pouches where these Kobitos really stand out.
Hello! I’m Sekai, a virtual reporter who wants everyone to appreciate the charm of character goods, both new and old. Today, I’m introducing you to Kobito Zukan bean pouches. These Kobitos have a charm that makes them unforgettable once you see them, yet somehow addictive. Try to find your favorite Kobito.
Initials or Kobito? Bean Pouches That Are Fun to Choose Either Way
This is the “Kobito Zukan Bean Pouch (N).” Featuring Kakure Momojiri and Kusamadara Oo-Kobito as the centerpieces, the Kobitos are drawn with incredible impact. When you pull the strings tight, you get an adorable-sized bean pouch. It’s great that despite its strong impact, it’s easy to incorporate into your daily life.
Size: 12cm × 8.5cm × 0.3cm
The back design is also packed with care and playfulness. It would make a great gift for Kobito Zukan fans or as a small present for children.
This is the “S” bean pouch with calm black strings. Whether you choose by initial or by your favorite Kobito, it’s fun either way.
The back is also thoroughly enjoyable, making me completely satisfied. For Kobito Zukan fans, this is an item you’ll want to collect in all varieties.
It seems that over 400 types of Kobitos have been discovered so far. When you think that the strange things happening around you might be the work of Kobitos, somehow it fills you with a sense of wonder and excitement. If you give the Kobito Zukan picture books as a gift to children along with these pouches, they might be able to experience that same sense of excitement with you.
Despite using basic fabric, all the pouches have quite an impact from the Kobitos. Since bean pouches are adorably sized, I think they’re items that Kobito Zukan fans can easily incorporate into their collection. Choose by your own or your favorite character’s initial, or pick your favorite Kobito.
Somehow You Might Get Sucked In… Stylishly Usable Boston Bag-Style Pouch
This one features Arashi Kurobane designed prominently, and it’s the Kobito Zukan Arashi Kurobane Boston Bag-Style Pouch. You might think “Boston bag!?” but it’s actually an adorably sized pouch! Since it’s see-through inside, it’s perfect for a makeup pouch or small items storage. With your favorite Kobito, your mood is sure to lift.
You can put your favorite plushies inside and carry them around cutely thanks to the transparent material.
The handles can be detached by buttons, so you can attach it to your bag and carry it around. Both the front and back can be used interchangeably, and the functionality is excellent.
There are 6 types, and while each features familiar Kobitos with strong impact, the cute color palette creates an exquisite balance with the unique Kobitos.
Size: 14cm × 18cm × 6cm
Although each Kobito has a strong impact, the adorably sized Boston bag-style pouch is a point where you can carry your items cutely, attach it to your bag, and more—with excellent functionality making it easy to incorporate into your daily life. Why not enjoy going out with your favorite Kobito?
